really, she was the least favourite Russian "wunderkind" for me.I always thought she was inferior to Adelina, Julia..Now I changed my opinion about her. I was almost in tears when she got 2nd. And to the end of her program I thought that I'd like Julia to falter in the free, because THIS girl is amazing and should have a chance to compete in gpf. She is so much better for me than last year..

Ohhhhh Liza!!!
I am not surprised. I knew she was going to be a champion!!! I love her confidence in every part of the program. Her 3lz was a thing of beauty.

I understand her decision on the costume. Per the recent interview, she explored her own style, which happened to be the oriental. I assume she did not want to limit herself within the typical ice princess look and the costume is an outcome. However, the dress has to celebrate her figure as well. She can upgrade the costume, which will boost her confidence even more! Again, it's her decision and I will support her no matter what
